alignment of syllables which start a melisma

[ Lilypond 2.11.25-1 ; Mac OS X ]

Hello all!

Just wondering if there is yet a way to globally adjust the alignment  
of (only) syllables which begin melismas.

I find Lilypond's default to be too far to the right (i.e., too  
severely left-aligned), and so I have to manually enter a macro  
before every syllable that begins a melisma -- I would much rather be  
able to change a single setting somewhere, if I could find where that  
is.

Thanks!
Kieren.
